Guild Wars 2

What is better the 2 Krait, 2 Centaur, 2 Afflicted or … 6 Undead?

Im also very curious if anybody else is using something else besides those two.

Thank You.

what is better? My personal view (and others have differing views) is that I like Vitality more than toughness on my condi build so I use Carrion and 2/2/2 for the durations. I don’t want more toughness.

When I am in melee range (not much) I am CnD and blinding them, if I miss I am teleporting or dodging out. Skill 3 is now sweeet.

Of course you may mean D/D and I don’t have a strong view on that.

even with carrion gear, if you put points in shadow arts and have undead runes, you’ll have decent toughness to go with your vitality.

the 2/2/2 combo gives more damage with high power, and longer duration bleeds…but those bleeds tick for less so condi clears hurt more. Most importantly these runes are expensive, so it may not be an easy option outside of pvp.

the undead runes on carrion gear give solid defensive boosts and improve your bleed ticks. But if your bleeds last the full duration, you’re losing probably 1.5k damage per stealth. they are soooo much cheaper than those other runes, so I’d start with them if you dont have money for those runes on hand.

with regards to vit/toughness, this doesnt have to be an either or question. toughness improves the effectiveness of vitality and heals, so even a minor increase on a high vitality build is a big defensive boost.

I think its safe to say the condition craze is in full effect? this is the 4th post about how to set it up in the last several days
